The Atlas Asylum of absurd/ignorant posts IX

[Badger]

Emphasis mine

It sounds more like what Greece and Turkey did in the early 20th Century (not ideal, but not genocidial either) than something more insidious.  But, there's no perfect solution here.  I side more with Israel because they're more protective of religious freedom, but there isn't an ideal answer (other than both groups converting to Christianity, of course).

That is a good post.

Always amazing how Mr all liberal all the time throws that concept out the door when faced with such things as the concept of religious plurality. Then basically you become Jerry Falwell on steroids. Sad.

And just in case we thought that Vosem wasn't working overtime to defend ethnic cleansing, here's him comparing Hamas to the kkk.

The reactions in this thread would be quite different if this was the KKK protesting on campus. I wonder what the difference is.

Yes, one of these organizations promotes genocide, and the other "merely" subjugation. They are on very different moral levels.

Once again, your reading comprehension skills are terrible. I think Hamas is orders of magnitude worse than the KKK, and would never equate them. My opinion of individuals who don't think this way is very low, although in the West they are more commonly simply fools rather than actually hateful. Some, like you, are both.

Also, I think I have finally earned a new signature, since this is Peak Vosem!

He's literally not wrong though? Hamas literally calls for the killing of all Jews and are far more open and explicit about this desire than even the Nazis ever were (the Nazis, at least initially, tried to cover up their genocidal intentions with weasel-y language). Hamas<KKK.

This referendum is a good example of why direct democracy is bad & stupid.

Governments elected with a minority of the vote (1st preferences in this case), would not be expected to be that democratic towards the majority which voted someone else.

So referendums tend to be the only opportunity for the majority to vent against the minority in power, that's why Parliamentary Governments always lose referendums unless they are geniunely popular.

Chance of pace from Israel/Palestine and genocide, we see a total misunderstanding of a preferential voting system.

In addition to that Trump is no Bush W and no Reagan for the 100th time he is an indicted felon

Someone is going to get hurt in 2025, and there is a decent likelihood that someone will be killed. Dutton and Price need to be extremely careful of some of the forces they've unleashed in this referendum, or they'll end up sending us down the path of the United States.

What a disaster it would be if Australians vote for policies aimed at lifting their standard of living to match that of the United States!

My reading skills are fine. I understood your point quite well, it's just moronic and chosen ideological blind spot to pick favorites, even as far as relative evil, between these two I love some organizations. The fact that you constantly poo poo the existence of racism, overt or otherwise, especially among conservatives, is again simply your own blind spot.

It's actually rather ironic that you consistently Squat and squeal about my supposedly terrible writing comprehension when every time you do so it's simply a matter I'm pointing out that I understand your arguments completely, and simply how exitable they are.

Obviously nothing will ever top your AAD outburst (and yes, I know you meant 'loathsome organizations'), but saying in your post accusing me of racism that you "love some" Hamas and KKK is an absolutely excellent Freudian slip.

No, a Freudian slip is something that reflects a person’s actual subconscious feelings.  Frankly, anyone suggesting Badger has subconscious positive feelings about the Klan or Hamas is either an idiot or a troll.  So this voice to text mistranslation objectively doesn’t meet the criteria for a Freudian slip.

An example of a Freudian slip would be if you meant to say “I oppose affirmative action because I want to keep bad students out of our schools,” but accidentally said “I oppose affirmative action because I want to keep black students out of our schools.”

For all that certain people like to rant and rave about how awful Badger supposedly is, it’s quite telling that his most vocal critics tend to default to making objectively false claims about him.

I sometimes like to imagine a world where the Jews got their homeland in Alaska or Tasmania or somewhere else nice, rather than clearing out lots of Muslims in the middle east.

Then our relationship with the Muslim world would just be buying their oil and holidaying on their beaches and just maybe we wouldn't need to suffer their extremists stabbing and shooting people on our streets, flying planes into towers or bombing our buildings,  all because we continually defend and enforce a stupid decision we made over a century ago.

1. What the hell do Tasmania or Alaska have to do with Jewish people?

2. Neither of those places are particularly “nice” places to live.

3. Those places had a bunch of people who lived there. Why would it be justified to clear out all of those people?

the people who raise such points are closet racists.  They know Tasmanian or Alaskans (or New Jersyites, or Germans*, etc) wouldn't still be acting like a spoiled child who popped their own ball 70 years later.

*some clowns actually suggest that Germany would have been a good place to create the Jewish homeland in 1947...and they do it in all seriousness with a straight face.  I've seen it, several dozen times.   That's a special kind of crazy.

Tasmania is a very nice place to live, probably one of the nicest places in the world. Alaska is beautiful and offer more genuine freedom than anywhere else in the US, but is of course not for everyone. Tasmania's indigenous population had been exterminated so none of the residents really had a good claim to stay there rather than somewhere else in Australia.

Removing the Germans from Germany and deporting them to Central Asia, Siberia and the Sahel and paying some South American countries to take the "nice ones" (confirmed active anti-Nazis, trade unionists, artists, pacifists etc.) and killing off the Nazi party members and the old German military, economic and administrative establishment would have been fair. A Jewish homeland in an ethnically cleansed Germany wasn't what the Jews wanted, and would have been difficult logistically but Germany is far too nice a place (temperate climate, natural beauty, fertile soil) for a people with a track record like the Germans, and given that they took advantage of the Jews being a diaspora people reducing the Germans to a diaspora people would have been poetic justice.

Why do all the alternate 'solutions' to where the Jews should have gone after WW2 involve ethnic cleansing on a scale vastly greater than what actually happened in Palestine?

The issue with Badger is that all of his posts are repetitions of the same critiques against people he hates, even when the questions being discussed have nothing to do with those critiques, and when he moves beyond that his posts slip into bizarre (and actually extremely comically prejudiced) fantasies of violence. I don't think his disagreement with conservatism is even real in the way that it is for posters who actually do believe that left-wing policies might improve society; his posts instead reflect a personality which is seeking someone, anyone, that society might allow him to be cruel to. Satisfaction, for him, is derived from insults and fantasies of violence done by others. In this way it is very similar to the personality that might attract someone to Hamas or the Klan, even though, because of his particular society, I doubt Badger consciously has much sympathy for those organizations.
